Life is a Journey.....

Every now and then, I like to create a page about me. I want my children to know me, understand me, not as only their mother, but as a person. I want them to know that even though life kicks you right square between the eyes sometimes......you need to get up, dust yourself off, and put a smile back on your face. It is hard. Very hard at times. I've had my share of heartache. But we have a choice in life......live sad.....or live happy. I choose the latter.

This page was created using Noel's Lemonade Stand kit. (only 2 left!) And just an FYI....her new kit, Sun-kissed is going up for sale on June 5th! Take a peek HERE if you want a glimpse of what's inside!

This is really incredible Michele. What a precious gift you have in scrapbooking. Your outlook on life is commendable. I think we all need to take a look around and be happy.. Thanks for sharing this..Beautiful work.

I LOVE this, Michele! Perfect in every way. Would you mind sharing with me the font you used for your journaling? It's the same as my great-grandmother's old script typewriter--I've been looking for it everywhere!

That is such a wonderful idea,I never thought of doing that of me.I have no children but it would be wonderful for my family to learn about me.Such a beautiful layout Michele,I'm sure your children will love to look at your albums in the future!
